Ambah sweetheart, I so hear you and the sleep thing. Blake's sleep is still crappy - as always - plus we've had to deal with his pain from his fractured arm which he did 2wks ago, plus he's got a snotty vile virus accompanied by a fever. Sorry, I'm digressing and whinging, but I can't remember when I got a full nights sleep. I guess I'm just learning to live with it to a degree. Last night I went to bed about 11pm which was late for me, I read for about 40 mins cause I wasn't tired/knew I wouldn't sleep. DH came to bed at 12.15am. Blake stirred shortly afterwards. I got up and settled him, then I couldnt' sleep. Made cheese on toast and had a glass of cordial at 1am. Managed to get 4 good hours between 1 and 5am when Blake was unsettled again. Settled him, but then DH had to get up at 6am today for an early job interview in the city, so I didn't really go back to sleep. Surprisingly I've only had about 4.5 hours sleep (Ooh that's not good now that I actually think about it) but I feel pretty good.
I wish I had an answer to a better nights sleep. Sleep for me is usually light too. I hear everything, and have disturbingly vivid dreams which make me feel like I didn't sleep at all. Sometimes, I'll have a late shower like Monnie suggested. Thinking back to those night - apart from the Blake factor - I've probably slept better. Maybe we both can try that!
